Chapter 729: Chapter 729: A Daughter Should Be Like An Yiqing (1)

Because of that inexplicable text message, a day that was supposed to be full of joy subtly revealed a trace of mysterious tension. On one side, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin already had their calculations in place, while on the other, guests who had come to attend the engagement ceremony were already arriving one after the other.

Inside the banquet hall, Old Master An and Old Master Gu stood spirited in brand-new dark red robes, warmly welcoming guests at the main hall.

Such treatment surprised the distinguished guests. Who were Gu Zhongyi and An Muyun? The old commander of Xuanjin, the head of a century-old ancient martial arts family, and a renowned noble of Xuanjin. With such power and status, the fact that the two elders from the Gu and An families were personally receiving guests was proof enough of how much importance they placed on the betrothed couple, Gu Yelin and An Yiqing.

At this moment, Gu Yelin, dressed in a black suit, made his way from the direction of the resting room. His face remained expressionless, his demeanor cold as ever. But from his eyes, one could see the deep joy. However, what schemes lay buried in his heart were known only to him and An Yiqing.

"What is it? Did Xiao Qing seek you out for something?" Old Master Gu asked in a low voice when he saw Gu Yelin come out.

"Just a small matter," Gu Yelin said impassively.

He did not intend to tell the truth to Old Master Gu. Whether it be his own grandfather or Old Master An, they were both of advanced age, and it was better for them to stay happy during such a joyous occasion.

"Got it, as long as there’s nothing serious. If there’s any problem, you must talk about it. Today there are too many people coming, all of high status, and soon the higher-ups will arrive. You must be careful. Make sure there’s not a single glitch." Old Master Gu reminded him.

Gu Yelin nodded and said in a serious tone, "Grandfather, I understand."

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed at the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Old Gu, you really do look quite scholarly in that outfit today, nice indeed. But let me tell you, it really pisses me off to see you because your grandson stole my favorite Girl Qing. Honestly, I wanted Qing to be my granddaughter-in-law!"

Old Master Gu turned his head upon hearing this and saw it was Duan Yuntian. Following him were Duan Tang and Ruan Hao.

"Hmph! Old Duan, is it impossible for a dog to spit out ivory? I’ve always been suave and charming, what’s there to be jealous about?" Old Master Gu rolled his eyes and pouted unhappily, "My Lao San inherited my consistent style, whether in battle or in chasing after women, always swift, accurate and ruthless. The moment he targets, he must take it down. Hehe, Girl Qing becoming my granddaughter-in-law, you’re jealous, right? Hehe, just keep on being jealous! No matter how jealous you are, she won’t become yours!"

Old Master Gu’s mustache nearly curled up with joy, his face beaming, utterly delighted. Seeing his old friend so happy, Duan Yuntian couldn’t help grinding his teeth in irritation.

He huffed in dissatisfaction, his lips curled, "If your Lao San and Xiao Qing hadn’t known each other for so long, it’s not certain whose granddaughter-in-law she’d be! What’s there to be so proud about?"

Just then, a voice with a hint of laughter came through: "Hey, hey, hey, you two should be enough now. I’m still here from her maternal family, you know. My granddaughter isn’t some puppy or kitten, strategical target? First come, first served? Be careful, or I’ll tell Niuniu everything!"

While teasing, Elder An waved his hand and spoke.

He and Duan Yuntian weren’t very familiar. Although Elder An had been close to Old Master Gu since their youth, he had only heard of Duan Yuntian and had never actually met him.
